Fouling detection

As layers of undesirable materials form, the absolute thermal resistance of the component or element in question increases. Heat flux measurements can help detect these conditions before they lead to damage and costly repairs.

Measurements in studies show that absolute thermal resistance increases as soon as contaminants appear and form a layer – a bacterial film on a fin heat exchanger, for instance.

gSKIN^gt sensor technology can measure temperature and heat flux. This allows for analysis of absolute thermal resistance as a means of detecting contaminants.

inno^gt technology extends into many other exciting areas of application, including the aviation industry (e.g. detection of ice build-up on airplane wings), shipping (detection of algae build-up) and medical technology (warning system for bacterial build-up).
